the shitty development is the biggest head scratcher to me. I was saying there were development problems with Bo and to see it continue under MR is just so odd in my opinion. I can only name a few guys that have truly looked better from the first time you saw them to the last/today. That's what i just don't understand, is why guys just seem stuck in the mud at NU. it's like we got a team full of guys that reached their full potential in HS.
and most of the guys that have looked better were walkons - Gifford, Janovich, Long are guys that come to mind.
guys like Young, whom started as a freshman for this staff, now in his 3rd year and he plays exactly the same. none of the OL looks better. as SEC just said, the line looks better but it seems to be personnel changes, not actual development. we have TEs that came in Year 1 with MR and still aren't sniffing much of anything. it really just makes zero sense to me.
Yeah. I went around in circles on that one for a long time with Dobson under bo. It can only be a 'talent' issue when talking top 10 (maybe 15) schools. Nebraska has the same talent (or better) with most of these teams they struggle with.
It can only be coaching. I.E. player technique and getting people lined up properly.
And/Or...
Strength and Conditioning.

Damon Benning has been all over the 'technique' thing recently.
